Death of a well-known Printer.

Mr.. James NJ johnson, gentleman we'll
known among printers and newspaper
people in this city, died yesterday afternoon,
after a short illness, of congestion of the
brain. The deceased was native of Phila-
delphia, and was about 81 years of age,
though in appearance he was much younger.
He came here in 1860, since which time he
has held situations in nearly every printing
Office in the city. He was an excellent
workman and man of more than ordinary
ability. He was an officer in the Union
army during the late war, and was at one
time on the stage. OF his histrionic
talent, those who remember him as IA mem
Der of the Ford Dramatic Association in its
early days will bear testimony to his
efficiency as an actor and stage manager.
Mr.. johnson married Mrs. Charles Des-
vergers. She died about four years ago,
leaving several children by her first hus-
band, among them Mrs f. NJ Grisham and
Mrs. - j. FRAN, both wives of gentlemen
in the MORNING NEWS composing room,
and two by Mr.. johnson.
Mr.. johnson was member of Printers
Assembly No. 1900. X. OF L., of District
Assembly No. 1879, X Of L., and of Savan-
nah Typographical Union No. 1873. The
latter organization will attend the funeral,
which will take place this afternoon nj (
o'clock, from the residence Of Err. Grisham.

The Macon and Covington.

1.-THE whole trouble about the Macon and
Covington railroad" says Judge Thomas
in the Griffin Sun, 'arises from misunder-
standing of the terms of the original con-
tract with the Richmond and Danville road
and the people of Athens. The Richmond
and Danville agreed to take the $97 200
necessary to complete the $4,000 by
which the Macon and Covington was to be
diverted to Athens, on condition that it was
released from the obligation to extend the
Northeastern to Clayton, but it was
specially conditioned that the $97 900 was to
be paid only when the Macon and Coving-
ton was completed to, and CON
nected with, the Northeastern at
Athens. AS this has not been done
the Richmond and Danville is not bound to
take bonds, and cannot be held liable until
the Macon and Covington road has been
completed to, and connected with, the North
eastern at Athens. This very satisfactorily
answers the question why the Macon and
Covington people do not call upon the Rich
mond and Danville road for the S97, 0O0n
Judge Thomas says that there is no doubt
as to the Macon and Covington's final COM
pletion to Athens. The road is now tempo
rarily embarrassed, but in a short while
new blood will be infused into its veins and
the enterprise will be carried to a successful
close
1t seems from the above that the Macon
and Covington railroad is not so bad off as
reported.

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.

The first shipment of cotton that Griffin
has made over the Georgia Midland was
made Tuesday by Brooks q Mills, who
shipped 100 bales to Savannah, via
McDonough.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
is to bid on the Rome and Decatur, and, it
is said, will no doubt secure control of that
division. 1t already owns the Georgia
Pacific and the Mobile and Ohio, and the
acquisition of the light line of forty miles
would give them trunk line through Biz
mingham to the gulf.
A party Of railroad men, about dozen
in number it is reported, will leave Atlanta,
for Panama in month or six weeks. The
party will consist of conductors, engineers
and train dispatchers, who will take posi-
tions on the Panama railroad, which is I'M
der the management Of Col. Reaves, form

THE TRIP TO ATLANTA.
The Military Arranging to Visit the Elk
position

position.
There is now very little doubt that the
Savannah military will make the trip to
Atlanta next month and will visit the
Piedmont Exposition on military day. Col.
Mercer is pretty well assured that the First
regiment will go, at least part of it. The
Georgia Hussars will decide positively to-
morrow night. A meeting was held on
Wednesday night and it was then decided
that If thirty men and horses could be
taken the troop would go. A COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Clark Davis,
W. Duncan Johnston, and G. H. Remshart
was appointed to obtain transportation
rates. The non-commissioned officers were
requested TO confer with the members of the
troop and urge the ACCESSIBILITY of the trip.
The Central railroad has offered round trip
fare for 50, and 81 s. for horses. The in
tention is to leave Savannah on Oct. IL
Monday night-arriving in Atlanta Tues
day morning, and returning Tuesday night,
reaching home Wednesday morning This
arrangement will give the entire day in At
lanta, and will necessitate only one days
absence from business. The matter is being
talked of among all the military, and Sa-
vannah will be pretty sure to be well rep
resented.

THE MEDAL STAYS AT HOME.
The Chatham Gun Club Again Wins
the Interstate Badge.

The clay pigeon season closed in Savan-
nah yesterday with the match between the
Chatham Gun Club and the Guyton
Club. 1t was the Guytons' maiden
contest for the interstate medal, the
club having been organized only short
time. The match was shot under the
National Gun Association rules, by teams
of five men, and was won by the Chathams
by a score of 20 to a. The medal was
already in possession of the Chathams,
having been won in the Millen match in
August, and it is still theirs.
DR.. S. NJ. Roach who made the highest
score at Millen, lacked but one point of MAX
ing clean score yesterday, and wears the
medal The match took place at the Chat
hams grounds. The weather was fair, and
the shooting by part of the home team
was good. The Guyton team did not shoot
as well as was expected, though there are
some crack bird shots in the team.
The score was;
